About the letter
Longhand
A letter, by hand, every Sunday.
9,400+ readers · by Iris Wren

Longhand is a reader-supported Sunday letter about attention, craft and the slow life. Each week it arrives with a single piece — an essay, a letter, a note on reading — and never a digest of everything.
This is a design example, so this copy is placeholder text. On a real publication, this page would tell you who writes it, why it exists, and what a new reader can expect from the archive.
